March 18 might have been an average Monday for most, but for one local family, it meant the celebration of three birthdays — and the birthing of yet another family member.

Pam Gervais flew in from St. Petersburg, Fla., on Monday to celebrate the birthday of her and her mother, Betty Coffey Scott, in Scott’s home in Dardanelle. Both were born on March 18, as well as Gervais’ daughter Tiffany.

It seems coincidental that a mother and daughter would share the same birthday, and astronomical that a granddaughter be born on that day as well. But when Gervais walked in the door, she found astronomical turn to unbelievable: her niece, Samantha Bryant, was also about to give birth.

Samantha was due the first of April, but doctors induced labor after her blood pressure had risen. Gervais and Scott drove to the hospital, but the labor was going slowly, and at 11 that night, they decided to head back home.
